Very high quality and comes bundled with tons of goodies. The key action feels good and works with any DAW not just Ableton (logic pro here)

I love this keyboard, feels like it is well built and will last years. Works perfectly with FL Studio.

Dustin Fookes

First time midi controller buyer. I was surprised with how firm the RGB pads we're to press but believe I will get used to it. Ableton that came with it is fairly simple to use but there is definitely a large learning curve to get everything moving smoothly. Overall very satisfied though.

Great controller, using it with the Groovebox app from Ampify is really nice.

Excellent quallity, the MIDI works well on my Ableton Suite, and has very profecional quallity. Thank you Novation

Allan Huseyin

It's a great first keyboard. Has lots of knobs and buttons to play with. Feels great. It also comes with awesome software.

Josianne Lapierre

Arrived after exactly a week, which I was really surprised and pleased about :) . Easy to use (already have a Launchpad!)! As soon as it was connected, I could start to play and create. Second song I make today. I couldn't hope better. Well, it could be smaller, could be easier to carry place to place (Only con)! Sincerely, 5/5!

Mr Connor Tetlow

By far the best thing I could have bought as an absolute beginner to electronic music creation, it's that simple to use my 9 year old little brother loves playing with it and he also is able to use the device. It's perfectly supported by abortion which allows incredible detail to each part of the music creation a definite 5*

Romain

Very good product with nice MIDI pads. Great for beginer

Mr Francis Delaney

Essential product for any electronic music enthusiast! Better for me than the mini version, since I have big fingers. I really like the 25 keys version of the keyboard because it is portable!

Es una buen equipo,es algo donde se puede empezar

Had some difficulty registering this product but overall easy once you get started.

Well built and sturdy, and I'm really liking the two included soft synths. My only regret is not buying the larger model for the extra 8 sliders.
What decided the sale for me was the feel of the pitch and modulation wheels, they feel solid, but also sort of soft, and they sit under the hand just so... I would recommend this product.

Excelente practico y fácil de manejar

This is a great product, it works exactly as it should with ableton I also use it with presonus studio and pro tools. My only complaint is how difficult and frustrating it is getting it to work in pro tools, but I think that'd be on them.

Adrian

This is best 25 keys keyboard that you can integrated with Ableton Live. You have full size keys with good quality build, 16 softs and sensitive pads that allow you to launch, record and arm clips on the fly with the InControl function.
I would recommend this keyboard to anybody that is searching a portable midi controller that wants to have a better workflow in Ableton Live with a great quality build.

The Launchkey 25 MK2 is a great unit but I only give it 3 stars. The reason I bought it is because I wanted to use it with Ableton Live 9. It works great with Live and complements the DAW seamlessly. It's plug and play the way it should be. The RBG pads are great, the fader, and knobs are good ( I have no complaints about those), the pitch & mod wheel have a great feel, & the transports controls are a perfect complement. On the flip side, the bads are that it does not have 5 pin midi I/O ports, the key action is a bit weak and not as good as it cold be. The way the user has to push to buttons at the same time to access different midi channels is difficult to work with because the delay time it has to revert back it too long. The same goes for key transposition. For example, the L/R buttons above the pitch and mod wheel are used for navigating to different tracks. So, in order to select a midi channel both buttons have to be pressed at the same time. Doing this puts the controller in midi channel select mode. It takes too long for it to go back and get out of midi channel select mode because it reverts back by itself after a few seconds. This is my biggest complaint. Over all, you get what you pay for. At this price point, it's a good controller but it does lack some features that are found on other controlers. The fact that it works so well with Live is the reason why I got it and continue to use it. I love Novation and their products, I just had high expectations with this unit and felt a little disappointed. In conclusion, it's a good product for the price and the functionality that it provides.

the launchkey mk25 is easy to set up (works out of the box with some workstations and ipad apps). the price was right and i get great sounds out of it. i have been very satisfied with my purchase so far

Diego

Great product. Setting it up was a breeze and every works as expected. Very happy with this small portable keyboard. I use with protools, logic, studio one And zbleton live.

Surj

Brilliant product for the price! The novation launchkey works well with most DAW's I currently use it for fl studio the full size keys make it easy to play unlike other "25 key; keyboards" However, the pads aren't great for drum rolls but a good piece of equipment overall.

Jane

I was looking for a small but professional keyboard to connect to my iPad to make using the music Apps easier. However with the pads and knobs on the Launchkey I found greater creativity and this developed into using the free Ableton Live software on laptop. This in turn lead to buying the full version of the software. The launchkey works perfectly in all these combinations and the knobs are great for controlling effects etc. It can do so much more than just playing the sounds as I soon discovered. Definitely a very worthwhile purchase.

Software Compatibility

Ableton Live Lite 10 is included If you already have Ableton Live it must be version 9 or greater to work with Launchkey.

Launchkey will also work as a standard MIDI controller.
